Chapter 1210: Chapter 876: The Environment Has Changed, The Price Has Increased

Although materials can be obtained with merit points, that kind of conjuring consumes a lot. Without the corresponding materials, no matter how many merit points one has, their effectiveness is limited.

And as for materials, ordinary or high-end ordinary materials are not expensive in the Dusk mercenary circle. Some people find it hard to obtain them, but given the large number of Dusk mercenaries, high-end ordinary materials are easy to acquire.

This also leads to the merit point value of these materials not being high...

But truly rare materials are different, and yet others won’t easily let go of such things.

Just like the Ancient Venerable fragment in Zheng Yichen’s hand, since it can be used for Alien Phenomenon manifestation and strengthening, Zheng Yichen reckons that setting a price around a thousand or eight hundred merit points, those Dusk Mercenary Groups would take it.

For no other reason than its scarcity, scarce enough that it might never have appeared before. It’s normal for unique items to be more expensive.

Without such materials, applying Alien Phenomenon manifestation to strengthen certain equipment with Dusk’s conjuring, how many merit points would it require?

Zheng Yichen didn’t bother guessing and went to ask directly.

Tia quoted Zheng Yichen a price of eighteen thousand merit points, Zheng Yichen admitted he couldn’t afford it, eighteen thousand!

If he could independently gain so many merit points, then in the future, he could wander the Great World every day, uh, wandering every day is a bit exaggerated, but visiting once a month, he could die several years over there in the Great World.

Compared to the Ancient Venerable fragment, the attribute reversal of the Great Evil God fragment seems rather ordinary.

More importantly, there is only one Ancient Venerable fragment, although it is the size of a fist, whereas Zheng Yichen has a bunch of Great Evil God fragments.

Zheng Yichen thought for a moment and decided to start a stall and do some business.

Let Lilith gather some information.

In the evening, Zheng Yichen returned to the Dusk Cathedral, where it was even more lively than during the day. As for the Dusk mercenaries selling goods, there were hardly any asking for merit points anymore.

Most of them were trading items for items. Of course, using merit points to buy things, sellers didn’t mind, and even supported such actions, but the market trend has changed here.

The reason for the change is the Dusk Organization’s move to this world, leading to a concentration of Dusk mercenaries here, and resources have increased accordingly.

Previously, local Dusk mercenaries were still willing to buy some things with merit points, but now with things that are no longer rare, why would they be willing to use precious merit points?

Initially, sellers wanted merit points, but after finding they couldn’t sell, they began to exchange items instead.

After all, the variety of items is too vast, like those things that extend life without loss. Zheng Yichen could see over ten kinds just by walking around here!

The Dusk Organization’s arrival has made the tradable items in this world increasingly rich, yet merit points have not increased alongside the richness of commodities.

On the contrary, that thing is always in a state of being consumed; item exchange has become the norm.

Unless Zheng Yichen can bring out something very unique.

As long as the items are unique and rare enough, their price won’t be impacted by the changing market.

For example, the Great Evil God fragments that were once hard to sell, Zheng Yichen bought cheaply in the past, just 1 merit point could secure them.

Now, with the increasing number of Dusk mercenaries here, he could raise the price a bit. Zheng Yichen brought out ten pieces, each sold for 5 merit points.

There are also old leaves and branches from the World Tree, these things are enormous, cutting down a batch could sell quite a lot.

"Am I this rich?" Looking at the cut old World Tree leaves, one of those leaves is as big as a person, and after trimming it down, it hasn’t consumed much. The same goes for the old branches of the World Tree, enormous with a diameter of half a meter and a length of three meters.

Keeping part of it is fine.

However, this thing isn’t exactly unique, its standalone value shouldn’t exceed 5 merit points, much beyond and really no one would want it, unless Zheng Yichen brings out World Tree seeds, then setting it at a hundred merit points makes sense.

But such a thing isn’t obtainable by individuals, only the entire Dusk Organization could handle it.

Originally lacking merit points, he slightly organized his collection, if these items can all be sold, he would have 110 merit points in hand, and this still hasn’t consumed much of his collection.

If he sells all his items, if it can be completely sold out, the merit points he’d hold could exceed a thousand, thus far he’s accumulated only 505 merit points, all earned by his skills.

"Boss, it’s your special experiences that allow you to have so many high-value items. Don’t use yourself as an example for others." Lilith said beside him.

The prices Zheng Yichen set for his items were calculated by her, these items might sell for higher prices elsewhere, but those places Zheng Yichen couldn’t reach.

While in the Misty City World, without the presence of the Dusk Mercenary Group, these items would fetch at most 1 or 2 merit points, no more even if people knew they were good items.

The old leaves of the World Tree could be priced at 4 merit points, but ordinary World Tree leaves priced at 1 merit point are hard to sell.

As for Illusory Eye, highly pure illusory crystal kinds of things are even less promising; don’t expect Illusory Eye to exchange for merit points, illusory crystals could, but it couldn’t be sold off quickly.

"A reversal fragment, finally something like this!" After Zheng Yichen arranged the items, someone came here not long after.

The Dusk mercenary who came here looked at the price of the fragments laid out, revealing an obvious expression of indecision, but after seeing the other items displayed by Zheng Yichen, all thoughts of bargaining quickly vanished.

The items Zheng Yichen bought were all expensive, but their values were extremely high.

Accompanied by World Tree leaves grown over tens of millions of years, even though there’s only one piece, when equipment is crafted through Dusk, it still provides great enhancement; once completed, it’s a crucial material that doesn’t require replacement in the future.

Regarding equipment, once the material is chosen, even if better items are encountered in the future, they can be added to it. The better the material, the greater the potential for future enhancement in the equipment.

Dusk can easily ignore the problem of piling materials, so this kind of primary material is very important.

The World Tree leaves and branches presented by Zheng Yichen are the best primary materials.

As for the "reversal fragments," though not excellent primary materials, they are extremely rare auxiliary materials.

A while ago, they appeared in the market of Misty City World, initially priced at 2 merit points, but promptly bought once it appeared.

The reversal effect, although not seeming overly powerful when used directly, can reverse the user’s strength or ability, effectively doubling one’s power.

The stronger become even stronger.

However, the number of these items appearing is minimal, while Dusk mercenaries are numerous. Although Zheng Yichen priced them at 4 merit points, which is expensive, in an auction, it could even double.

Provided someone urgently needs it.

Now, looking as if urgently needing merit points, there might be an opportunity...

"This price is expensive." Though lacking the intent to haggle, trying never hurts.

"Oh, I’m in no hurry." Zheng Yichen waved his hand; he’s truly not rushed in selling these items. Coming back from a recently completed task, he has over half a month’s time.

If truly urgent for merit points, he could always consult Du Gang for some loans.

Not enough? Then seeking Liu Hongzhao and the others wouldn’t be a bad idea, as the effect of Alien Phenomenon manifestation is quite significant.

Even if it temporarily doesn’t have much effect on them, there will be opportunities in the future to utilize it, right?

Moreover, as they have returned with Supreme Demon bodies, undoubtedly powerful in their native world; being the pinnacle of strength, when using Alien Phenomenon manifestation in attacks, it’s possible to break their native world environment’s limits.

They need to cleanse the Immortal Realm, and such enhancement is indeed necessary.

Though he needs merit points, there’s truly no urgency; besides, according to Lilith’s calculations, the items he presented have an already low price in the current environment. With current foundations, they could increase by a third.

Though the selling cycle would lengthen.

As long as there’s enough traffic of Dusk mercenaries here, people desperate to use these items will definitely appear, even if one Great Evil God fragment yields between one to two worlds’ worth of rewards for a Dusk mercenary.

But per Lilith’s gathered information, these items are absolutely worth their value in the current setting.

They double one’s ability type upon acquisition, while World Tree leaves and branches are rare primary materials.

The price is quite fitting, even though there are plenty of World Tree-related items in the market, none compare to what Zheng Yichen offers.

"..." Staring at the ’reversal fragment’ priced at 5 merit points, the Dusk mercenary hesitated; this equals two world task rewards, though the rewards from two task worlds would be greater, the price is indeed significant.

The main concern upon purchasing these items is the substantial consumption involved in subsequent strengthening.

However, seeing Zheng Yichen’s unhurried demeanor, the Dusk mercenary didn’t hesitate further and directly purchased a Great Evil God fragment.

One could attempt waiting, perhaps Zheng Yichen’s bluster is just a facade. Yet, sometimes opportunities are missed in such uncertain attempts and waiting.

Rather mildly regret now than greatly regret later; anyhow, the item’s in hand, and regret won’t change its usage, whereas if this item appreciates in value later, current regret will quickly turn into satisfaction.

Regarding the World Tree leaves and branches offered by Zheng Yichen, this warrior could only observe.

Although purchaseable, buying them means insufficient merit points for strengthening afterward.

With a sigh of melancholy, the Dusk mercenary concluded the transaction and immediately sought the Dusk nun, impatiently beginning the strengthening process.

As an established Dusk mercenary, he undoubtedly possesses commendable equipment, leaving no hesitation in utilizing such materials.

While the Dusk nun focused on strengthening equipment, this Dusk mercenary found a spot to sit down, observing Zheng Yichen’s transactional status...
